we've been abandoned by our government (not that they cared anyways), and we're forced to go to work because of that fact. Individualism and american exceptionalism has poisoned the country, no one gives a fuck about each other, and we're all gonna fucking die because of some fucking rich colonials that thought we were special
Not so much from the amount of people that have died, but more with how few fucks many people seem to give in spite of all of that death.
Me too, this is the ultimate manifestation of the "percentage small enough that I can write it off" sort of mentality that has been pervasive in America for a while now, the same attitude that let us just passively accept all the people already dying without healthcare and all the homeless people and other horrible shit happening in the country. If it's a small enough percentage, and that percentage is drawn from the people at the margins of society, it's fine. Evil shit.

Libs think Hillary is a slay queen for trying to do a corporate coup of healthcare and probably kill this many people.
One death is a tragedy, one million is a statistic. 300,000 dead Americans is still less than 1 out of 1,000. Most people don't know 1000 people well enough to be that consumed with grief. It's a lot of dead people, but spread out over a relatively long period and effecting mostly people you "expect" to die (old, sick, etc). That's how you get a crisis where most people only feel a vague sense of unease, if anything at all.
